Common mistakes
You bend the elbows and turn it into a row, so the arms work instead of the shoulder blades.
You shrug up toward the ears, letting the traps take over the squeeze.
You reverse direction so quickly the blades never fully pinch together.
What to focus on
Let the shoulder blades drive the motion — the arms just come along for the ride.
Pause for a full beat at the squeeze so the mid-back muscles actually switch on before you lift.
